Easy Penguin Cupcake Recipe

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare Your IngredientsBefore you start, make sure your cupcakes are cool if they are freshly baked. Have Oreos ready, along with your colorful candies sorted by color for the beaks and feet. If you're using shredded coconut, place it in a bowl for easy access.

Step 2: Frost the CupcakesTake your white frosting and add it to a piping bag with a large round tip. If you don't have a bag or tip, you can simply spread frosting on with a scoop, spoon or palette knife. It will be covered in coconut so it doesn't need to look fancy!  Dip the frosted cupcake onto shredded coconut to give it a snowy  look.
